The brand-new 4000m2 distribution center was inaugurated on June 14, 2023. in the presence of Mrs. Hélène Moreau-Leroy, CEO of the Hutchinson Group, and Mr. Philippe Henry, Mayor of Château-Gontier. It aims to better meet customer requirements thanks to state-of-the-art industrial equipment, and is part of the Group’s Factory 4.0 project:

  • Improved service quality and customized packaging for customers
  • Automation and robotization of warehouse and order-picking stations
  • Optimization of flows, made possible by the implementation of WMS software developed specifically for this project
  • Improved working conditions for employees

The building has been designed to contribute to the Group’s carbon neutrality objectives, with 2,600 m² of photovoltaic panels and a rainwater recovery system, making it a positive energy building (BEPOS).

A new biodiversity area on the Hutchinson site in Château-Gontier

A new biodiversity area has been created on the HUTCHINSON site in Château-Gontier. The local HSE teams have joined forces with the Mayenne Nature Environnement association to carry out this project to preserve the local flora and fauna.

The biodiversity area is composed of a hedgerow and fruit trees including many varieties, such as hazelnut trees, lime trees, maples, burgundy, hornbeam, hawthorns, saskatoons and vines. The site has also opted for late mowing to give nature time to develop refuge areas for small animals and pollinating insects.

In addition to enjoying the green space and the fruit, eco-responsible workshops will soon be offered to employees!

A new distribution center

This new storage and order picking facility is located in Château-Gontier-sur-Mayenne (France), the headquarters of O-Rings and Bonded Seals.

A positive energy building
This project is part of Hutchinson’s environmental commitment, with interior and exterior insulation meeting the latest standards, a rainwater recovery system, and photovoltaic panels on the roof to ensure energy autonomy and make it a positive energy building (BEPOS). This type of structure makes it possible to achieve a positive overall energy balance, i.e. it produces more energy (thermal or electrical) than it consumes.

An automated warehouse and adapted workstations
This system will not only optimise storage space but also reduce the need for operators to carry heavy loads. This will improve our customer service.

A modern space dedicated to logistics
The warehouse will have five loading bays, eight order picking stations and a manual security station. We will optimise the capacity to respond to customer orders and requests with this new environment.
